Long Travel BS Thread

Maybe someone can tell me where i could possibly get some of these coil spacers, like on these Tundra coilovers, my Sway Away coilovers has a short threaded body and i will be getting some smaller slightly smaller coils and i know i will run out of thread.

Get longer coils?

 

or get the extended rod ends for the shaft...

 

Yes that problably better than the spacer, just got off the phone with offroad engineering, they said switching to 650 rate coils is not gonna do much, what i want is to stay at my height and be softer. The coils i have now are too stiff for faster fire road offroading.
What do you guys think? 600 rate ? 16"

Yes thats another idea, but then agian i have the older fixed top coilovers, so it wouldnt work.

 

on the shaft end... but you know the springs are for ride height... so changing the weight of the spring will make it higher or lower... you want a more plush ride... that is why there is that stuff called valving inside...

 

Spring rates change ride also but I think valving is what your feeling at speed

 

I know i didnt want to mess with valving. I know i can get it a bit softer , i mean i should be using a 675 coil anyways , its meant for a winch a a plate bumper or a tundra. For the shaft end i dont think it will work take a look these are my coilovers,In the pic you can see how i got them, with the 675 coils cranked up that high, i bet they are sagged out now.

 

I hate those type

 

those type do suck balls. but do it right or dont do it at all. valve them properly... taking shortcuts never ends well.

 

I know haha, but for the price i took em, plus i would have blown out my stocks already, im saving for Long travel now, i wish you can make me a kit

Yeah i guess either go one spring rate softer, or leave it alone and save for long travel .

 

Hey got a really good deal on them that's why he has them just go full LT Anthony then you don't have to worry about it lol

 

Shoot me a couple grand and your truck for a month

 

haha i did, oh how easy it is to say but not to do, so you gonna recharge your coilovers? just take the front off the ground , charge them to 250 psi, hit em like two times or so just to make sure they are filled. And they might feel better, but theres no really way to tell if they are low like i said, if they feel spongy they are low.

 

you can always do what that one dude did to his explorer. cut and extend the stock arms hahahahhaha

 

hahahahahha..... NO!

 

don't knock it till you try it hahaha

 

Yeah I called icon yesterday just to make sure they are suposed to read 250 through the shrader valve on the remote resi and they said yes so im going to do it tonight I didnt have a jack tall enough to get the wheels off the ground last night lol

 

hahah ,ok cool

Yeah screw that, longer stock arms, haha

 

No way that sounds good to me as long as he just cut the end off and tack welded on a piece of metal sounds race ready to me

 

more than race ready.... its baja proof. yep... i said it....
